Save-the-date: DKFZ/NCT/DKTK HARPOON conference 2025

This year’s DKFZ/NCT/DKTK HARPOON (HArmonization of Reporting in PrecisiOn ONcology) conference on new developments in precision oncology, will be hosted in Heidelberg by the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT), and the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK).

Target audience: Everyone involved in multiomics-guided precision oncology and molecular tumor boards (bioinformaticians, clinical / medical trialists, data scientists, human geneticists, molecular biologists, oncologists, pathologists, patient advocates)

About the conference: HARPOON is intended to provide a platform for exchange and networking and to foster interaction between the One NCT, the DKTK, and other networks. Expect highlight talks on pioneering precision oncology activities, including recent developments in multiomics data analysis (e.g., by artificial intelligence) as well as forward and reverse translation, underlining the central role of multidimensional tumor characterization as fuel for innovative clinical trials and scientific discovery.

As the program continues to evolve in response to current developments, it will not only feature cutting-edge research highlights, but also include several special elements, such as a presentation from patients involved in applied cancer research and insights from journal editors on scientific publishing in the precision oncology field.

Keynote Speaker will be Norbert Kraut (Boehringer Ingelheim).
